Absolutely the only one to consider is the Rovner 1R or the Regular.
All the others are just immature wannabe's. :-)

Actually, you probably will wind up witht he 1R, but you should take
the time to play ALL of them if you can. They are different, but that
doesn't make one better than the other.

good luck,
